DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the embodiments of the present application. They are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the embodiments of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0018] It will be understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application may be used herein to describe various concepts, but unless otherwise specified, these concepts are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one concept from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present application, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the words "if" and "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining".

[0019] The terms "at least one", "plurality", "each", "any", etc. used in this application include "at least one", "two" or more, "plurality" or "each", "any" or "any one", "each" or "any one" as used herein.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0021] Among the related technologies, the acoustic velocity method has many shortcomings in practical applications. The complexity of geological structures has a significant negative impact on measurement accuracy, especially in areas with developed faults, where the propagation path of seismic waves is disturbed, resulting in distortion of velocity information. The heterogeneity of the formation also poses a challenge to the acoustic velocity method. The heterogeneity of rock composition, pore structure and fluid distribution makes it difficult to simply attribute changes in acoustic velocity to changes in hydrate saturation, which increases the uncertainty and difficulty of interpretation of the results. The anisotropic effect of formation anisotropy on velocity causes differences in the measured values of acoustic velocity in different directions. If effective correction is not performed, it will directly affect the calculation results of hydrate saturation. It is difficult to accurately map the details of saturation with a single velocity parameter. It is difficult to fully characterize the subtle changes in hydrate saturation based on velocity data alone, which limits the application of this method in fine exploration.

[0022] The resistivity method also has limitations. Changes in formation water salinity have a significant impact on measurement results. Highly salinized formation water will enhance formation conductivity, making it difficult for the resistivity method to accurately identify the filling of hydrates, leading to an overestimation or underestimation of hydrate saturation. The accuracy of the resistivity method decreases in highly conductive formations because the presence of highly conductive minerals or fluids will interfere with the resistivity signal, distorting the measurement results and making it difficult to accurately reflect the true saturation of hydrates. The difficulty in distinguishing between free water and hydrate signals should not be ignored. The free water and hydrates in the pores have similar mechanisms of influence on resistivity. Relying solely on resistivity data, it is difficult to accurately distinguish the contributions of the two to resistivity changes, thereby reducing the accuracy of the method.

[0023] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for determining natural gas hydrate saturation based on a Bayesian framework. This solution effectively integrates the advantages of the two methods through the Bayesian framework to achieve more accurate and reliable natural gas hydrate saturation calculation. Specifically, it fully utilizes the sensitivity of the acoustic wave velocity method in rock physical properties and the advantages of the resistivity method in fluid property detection. The data of the two methods are deeply integrated through the Bayesian system to improve the calculation accuracy of natural gas hydrate saturation while reducing the error impact of a single method.

[0024] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the saturation of natural gas hydrates based on a Bayesian framework, which relates to the field of information technology.
